I was waiting on this news. It was an awesome time last year that sparked more of an interest in Exotica music with the purchase of Les Baxter's Bongo record. I'll be the guy that is closest to the ceiling. ~teaK

1PM - 12AM
That's almost a full 12 hours of Detroit tiki. Ok 11 hours and not Detroit at all. I know that I like to go a little later in the night but you run the risk of something good already being sold. I'll probably be there after dinner time but will the DJ be there the entire time?

I had another great time over at the Chin last night.
So if you number the above pictures 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, picture number 3 is Jim and probably the coolest guy there. He says that he never uses the internet but knows his favorite mug makers Gecko and Holden. He is a total mug guy and likes his music. He brought with him a bunch of Gecko mugs including a one of a kind bowl. I bought the BK/Gecko Broiler off him for an great low price cause these things are sold out elsewhere. And he sells his records for a buck still in shrink, mint. (maybe thats an insiders deal) He picked out a few favorites of his for me to try.
Picture 4: Speedcult had some of their best designs there. As you can see in the above picture they have Shrunken heads made of metal. There were I think three variations and I totally wanted them all but came with only drinking money in my pocket this time.
picture 5: I talked to his guy most of the time last year but didn't get a word in this time. Real nice guy who had a booth this year with chalk sketches. I forgot his name (I'm horrible with names) and was just referring to him as the 50's salesman.
picture 6: that is Shaw, the guy that in the back of all those Juxtapoz magazines. He was selling hand painted ornaments for such a LOW price.
Every year I go there are really talented artist that never hear of Tiki Central. This year those artist were from Lansing. I would have ran to the ATM if they had more to sell. They were understocked and SOLD out. I don't even think they have a website.
when I was walking out the door I took this. The dining side. A great atmosphere.
